The present invention relates to a water pan for a radiator.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a pan of this nature which may be supported above the radiator so that water therein will be evaporated to humidity the air rising from the radiator.

The pan is particularly adapted for use in the attachment disclosed in my companion application (Case B) Serial No. 60,364, filed Cctober 3, 1925, and is also particularly adapted for being supported on the bracket shown in my application (Case A) filed in the Patent Office on September 9th, 1925, and bearing Serial No. 55,278.

The present application is referred to as Case C in my companion application, Case B.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the pan embodying the features of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a. top plan view thereof, and

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section taken therethrough substantially on the line 33 of Fig. 2 looking inthe direction of the arrow.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the pan includes the ends D and the pan proper or body F. Each end D is provided with a side 5, a top 6, a side 7 longer than the side 5, and merging into an inclined upright- 8 which in turn merges into a bottom 9 having the depending rectangularly disposed flange terminals 10. The sides 7 are disposed outermost. These ends D are adapted to rest-on the brackets B as is apparent. The pan proper or the body thereof includes a bottom 11, end walls 12 which are soldered, welded or otherwise per- PAN.

Application filed October 3, 1925. Serial No. 60,365.

adapted to receive water which will be evaporated by the heat rising from the radiator.

The flange 15 tends to defiect the evaporation forwardly out into the room. The ends D rise above the upper edges of the walls 12 and 13 and'if desired, a shelf, board, or the like may be supported on the tops 6 longitudinally above the body F. Of course, it is obvious, that the pan is more particularly designed for use in the combination shown in my companion application (Case B).

The pan is capable of being manufactured at a very small cost because of its simple construction, and when used with other devices, will prove attractive in its appearance. The pan' is also Strong, durable and the present embodiment thereof has attained in actual practice features of advantage as enumerated above.

It is apparent that changes in the details of construction, in the sizes in the materials, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my inv'ention,.what I claim as new is A. device of the class described including a pan, end supporting members for said pan top, said top merging into a dependingrect angularly disposed side longer than the first mentioned, side, said second side merging into an inwardly inclined upright, said upright merging into a bottom parallel to the top and fixed to the lower end of the first side and terminating in a depending flange.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature.
